Italian bakery company Biscotti Crich – based in Zenson di Piave (Treviso) and one of the leading Italian producers of biscuits, crackers and wafers – has acquired, through its subsidiary Quality Food Group SpA (Delser), Piovesana Biscotti SpA in San Vendemiano (Treviso). The latter is a historic bakery company in the Treviso area, founded in 1928 and producer of biscuits and crackers. It was acquired with a view to expansion by external lines of the Crich group.
